Looks like teenagers are as prone to texting while driving as are adults. This surprising revelation came about during a study by the Pew Internet & American Life Project which claims that 50% of all adult drivers text while operating an automotive while only one in three teenagers fall into the same category. Before youth starting pointing an accusing finger at their elders, it should be noted that this study grouped anyone at or above the age of 18 into the adult category. Since the maturity of those 18-25 is not much greater than those at the age of 16 and 17, a sound argument could be made regarding this flaw in the study. It would have been more interesting to group adults at 30+ and youth at under that. We could all be sure that the findings would be different than the ones in this study. Regardless, all those texting while driving should drop their dangerous habit – if not for themselves, than for those around them.
